NASA STATEMENT ON SPACE TECHNOLOGY MEETINGS IN EUROPE

WASHINGTON -- The following is a statement from NASA's associate 
administrator for space technology, Michael Gazarik, about his 
meetings this week in Europe to discuss potential cooperation on 
development of space technologies that will enable NASA's future 
missions. These include the asteroid initiative announced in the 
president's fiscal year 2014 budget proposal. 

"During my meetings this week with the German Space Agency, DLR; the 
European Space Program, ESA; and the French Space Program, CNES, I 
had an opportunity to view and learn about our partner's areas of 
technology focus and expertise and begin the process of identifying 
areas of potential cooperation in space technology. Our working-level 
discussions proved to be informative and productive. Our meetings 
also allowed me to share NASA's plans for our new asteroid 
initiative. NASA recognizes cooperation and collaboration are 
critical to meet increasingly global challenges. I look forward to 
working with our partners as we create the new knowledge and 
capabilities needed to enable the space missions of the future." 

Gazarik is head of NASA's Space Technology Mission Directorate, which 
is innovating, developing, testing and flying hardware for use in 
NASA's future missions.
